Looking for the newest techniques to optimize your front-end design and code for conversions and registrations? Is your product’s mobile experience driving your users up the wall? Want a peek at the latest web and mobile APIs that will transform the way we do things in 2013?

At Fresh Tilled Soil, we work on these questions every day—whether we’re designing a web application from the ground up, coding complex interactions, or prototyping an idea, we’re obsessed with helping our clients build brilliant experiences for their customers.

We started teaching courses in UX, design and front-end development because despite tremendous demand at all levels of industry, the resources available to learn these skills were limited in depth, and did not reflect the latest trends and techniques.

We are inviting you to Fresh Tilled Soil Labs Open House where you’ll have a chance to meet our passionate, dedicated, and talented instructors. Grab a beer, some food, and catch up with other entrepreneurs and design professionals while you learn about the courses we’re teaching at Fresh Tilled Soil in the coming months.

  • Mobile Design & Development
  • Rapid Prototyping & Designing Using Fireworks
  • Learning and applying Javascript
